[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean lately, or during normal times?

In normal times, not really.  I cared for them, snuggled, and like PP, wasn't worried.  I trusted that they'd feel better soon. One kid had febrile seizures for a few years, so when he had a fever, I was worried, but by and large, not worried.

Now, I feel a little concerned when someone has a headache or feels under the weather. I know that they're probably fine (and they've always turned out fine) but I am very relieved when they start feeling better.  Like I can exhale.[/quote]

Definitely more lately.  I feel like I'm really watching for signs that they're sick.  In normal times, they picked up random stuff fairly frequently from preschool and I expected it and it didn't bother me.

Example: the 3 year old told me today in a super sad, whiny voice, that his tummy hurt.  And I had this stress response in my body like it was a big deal.  But it turned into nothing.  Like he just had to poop or something.[/quote]
